BEST KEY LIME PIE IN TOWN!. I went to the Palm today for lunch and had their Key Lime pie was disappointing, it does not hold a candle to 240 Union's in Lakewood. 240 Union's is tart and sweet with just the right balance. You have to try it.…
Going Downhill Fast!!!. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants because they always used to use quality ingredients and had creative menus. Not so anymore. They are now using premade, disgusting sauces and the taste and quality has gone way downhill. It is now not even the level of Macaroni Grill (another place that now uses premade, canned sauces). Very disappointing and I will not be returning.…
Unfortunately, the quality of food is slipping.. I agree with an earlier review. 240 Union prices and quality do not match up. The last several dining experiences have brought brown lettuce, flavors in various dishes not working together, flavors in dishes that just are not the quality of other restaurants in this same price category. I don't begrudge their prices when the quality of food is equal. Excellent service, lovely restaurant, food needs much improvement. I'm not writing this review to give them bad press. I'm hoping their management reads this review, and brings back the quality of food the restaurant offered a couple years ago. I have also noticed that other restaurants in this same price range are still filled on the weekends whereas 240 Union no longer is. That's not just the economy speaking.…
Not Worth the Price.
This restaurant was ok, but certainly not what I would expect given the prices on their menu. It took our waiter over 10 minutes to arrive at the table for our drink order- never a good start. The
food was good, but bland, and for the price, I could have gotten just as good, or a better pasta dish at a chain restaurant. Thank goodness my husband and I had a promotional coupon for one free entree. My husband's pork was okay, but bland as bland can get- have they not heard of fresh herbs?
My salad was obviously out of a Fresh Express bag, and was not worth $8- the leaves were turning brown on the edges.
The busboy was so surly he could have curdled milk.
All in all, we were disappointed in the food, and don't feel it was worth the price. Won't return.…
Something for everybody. First visit to 240 Union and even though it's a bit out of the way for us, we'll return. Our party tried the sizzling shrimp, linguini, grilled scallops, the pistachio-encrusted pork chop and the nightly special, which was walleye. A few of us being mid-westerners, when we see walleye, we fight to see who gets to order it. All breads, appetizers, wines and dinners were great. The wine list, although not huge in the by the glass options, still has a couple of nice finds. Try a little Semillon with dessert. In fact, the after dinner menu has something for everybody. If I had any complaints, it was the length of time, between sitting down and getting the water and/or drink order. You don't want to be rushed but at the same time, you do want somebody to notice you. It's a fine line that was strained a couple of times during the evening, not bad but the line was crossed. Nothing to keep us from coming back though.…
